I find that I am having the same issue. I have an Ipad that had the VPN setup to go to a cisco 3030 concentrator, work great for about 4 months now the vpn will connect but pass no data. I have deleted the vpn and recreated and can see the connection on the concentrator. Does anyone have any ideas?

If you are successful with your VPN connection from your iPad meaning that it looks/says it is connected but you just can't see/send/receive traffic from your iPad then you need to check this from the VPN side.

I am familiar with several Cisco VPN's and the concentrators are not nearly as nice as the ASA's but they still have decent logging. You need to log on to the VPN and watch the live traffic/connections. And if you can provide the error from there it would be easier to troubleshoot.

If connected it's a VPN issue and not an iPad issue. And more than likely some ACL or policy but without details from the VPN side it's hard to call.

At some point this weekend I will bring an old VPN 3000 concentrator up and see what I can find...

I have everything configured correctly for an IPSec VPN and I connect in just fine. I can use iSSH to connect to a couple Unix servers that are on a private IP space. However, when I use iTap RDP to connect to Windows Servers, it does not work.

My windows servers sit in a DMZ and they have public IP addresses, but can only be accessed from inside my work network (thus requires VPN). When I use iSSH, I can see TCP connections being built in my VPN Firewall, thus I know the VPN is working. Now remember, these are the unix servers with private addresses.

When I use iTap for RDP, I do not see any matches on the firewall. It appears that for public addresses, the IPad IOS is preferring to use the general network connection instead of the VPN connection (thus not reaching the servers in the DMZ).

I see on PPTP and L2TP VPN you can select to "Forward all Packets" which from my understanding adds the default gateway to the VPN connection. I do not see this option for IPSec.

Can anyone give up any suggestions to a fix for this problem? It seems really strange that the IOS would not route everything through the VPN connection.
